Sorghum and Beet Sugar.
Leavenworth Times.

Leav0nWOrtn Times.
"What is your opinion Of sorghumy'
was the question asked ofSenator Ingalls,.
Sorghum is all right" was the response,
eff we could control the thermometer,
and it may be if We cannot" That is,
the obstacle which has been found in the
cultivation of sorghum and it's cow ersion
into sugar is that it must be handled in
so brief period and sustain so. great in
jury from frosts that it cannot be depend
ed upon for sugar, in large quantities
year after year. While the experiments
at Fort Scott and elsewhere in Kansas
have been satisfactory the past year, it is
an undeniable fact that large number of
conservative men who have watched 9TH
er experiments have not an Astounding
faith in sorghum az sugar supply.
With sugar beets it is different. The
practicability of making large quantities
of sugar from beets is demonstrated by
the fact that during the past three years
more sugar made from beets has been
sold in the markets of the world than that
made from cane. The manipulation Of
beets for the production of sugar has
resulted in cutting down the price of the
article to probably one-third of what it
would otherwise have been-making it
necessity of life instead of the luxury of
the well-to-do. The first experiments
with beets, which were begun about the
first of the present century under the
patronage of Napoleon I, were not such
as to inspire confdence-a fact which
affords grounds to hope for better things
from sorghum than we have yet seen.
The fact, however, that Germany pro-
duced 1,024,0O0 tons of sugar and ex-
ports 100000 tons annually, seems to
prove conclusively that sugar may be
made proftably from beets in this coun-
try where land is 80 much cheaper and
does not need the constant application of
fertilizers, even If labor is more costly
with us.
Claus Spreckles, the so-called sugar
king Of the Pacific coast, has q project,
not only TO establish beet sugar factories
in California, but elsewhere. It is
shown that the beets contain the requisite
amount of saccharine matter for profit
able manipulation, and the farmer will
agree to raise sufficient quantities objects
to warrant the outlay which the machin-
cry for the conversion OF the raw material
will require In recent address in Wat
Cal, Mr.. Spreckles, who had re-
GENTLY returned from an Investigation OF
the sugar beet industry in Germany, said
that farmers would net from $50 to $75
an acre for beets there. This estimate
was made upon the assumption that fer
tilizers must be applied to the soil. At
the suggestion of one of Mr.. Spreckles
agents in California, samples OF sugar
beets raised by Colonel d. r Anthony
have been sent to the Spreckels' laboratory
for analysis. If the result is favorable,
there is little doubt that Mr.. Spreckels
can be induced to establish q factory In
this vicinity for the manufacture of sugar
from beets. The outcome is awaited
with no little interest.

The Michigan law:
"SBCTIoN l. Shade trees shall be
planted along both sides of the public
highway, at the uniform distance, as near
as may be, OF sixty feet apart, and not
less than twenty-three nor more than
twenty-five feet from the center line Of
the highway, but the township board of
any township may direct as to the dis
tance which trees may be set from each
other or from outer line of thehighway.
All trees now growing upon the side Of
the highway, and all trees which may
be hereafter planted thereon, standing
more than sixty feet apart, shall be pre-
served, and shall not be injured or re-
moved, unless by direction of the COM
missioner Of highways, and with the con-
sent of the owner of the adjoining land,
unless such trees shall interfere with or
obstruct travel on the highway: Provrded,
That the provisions of this chapter in
whole or in part shall not be deemed
mandatory in townships in which the
electors may by vote at township meet.
ing thus determine.
SEQ. 2. Any person planting shade
trees along the highway adjacent to
property owned or occupied by such per-
son shall be entitled to be credited twenty
FIVE cents upon his highway tax for
every tree SO planted, but not to exceed
in the aggregate Is per cent. of such per-
sons highway tax in any one year.
SEC. 8. In road districts where there
are not trees planted and growing along
the highways to the extent required by
the first section of this chapter, the com
missioner shall require that at least fifty
trees per year be SO planted in each dis
trict, and shall continue to require the
same from year to year, until every high
way in his township where the adjoining
lands are cleared is supplied with shade
trees, as contemplated by rstsection, but
not more than Is per cent. of the highway
tax shall be appropriated for such purpo-
ses in any one district in any one year.
The overseer, acting under the direction
of the commissioner, may require Is per
cent. of the highway tax of any person OF
any year to be paid in money, the same
to be applied in planting shade trees
along the highway adjoining the property
of such persons. The overseer shall par
ticularly attend to the planting of such
trees, and shall allow no unsuitable tree,
nor any tree wanting sufficient roots or
vitality to be planted, and he shall have
the charge of and care for the same in the
best manner for their growth"
